A scream escaped my lips as the Inspector’s hand tightened around my Dad’s neck. I flung myself upon him and tried to pry his hands off. It mildly registered in my head that my Dad wasn’t fighting back. I could hear him trying to say something as the Inspector punched and hit him.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CscLiFZqt

“Sir! What in the world are you doing?” Someone pushed me away roughly and pulled the Inspector away from my Dad. My mind was so confused that it took me a while to recognize the person who intervened. It was Uncle Sunder. He was assisting the Inspector in the investigation. He was also a dear friend of my Dad.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHXFIFcBv4

“What happened?” He asked Dad.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpY0cNrAWe

“The Inspector attacked him out of the blue.” I exclaimed. “He…He…He was trying to strangle…”1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF6ef8cF0T

The Inspector did not look any less angry. But he seemed to realize the gravity of what he had done. He mumbled something like an apology to Dad and walked away.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE8VMRuFGI

​“Sunder…Do not report this incident.”1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82LR92qJS7

“What! Not report…Dad…he…”1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHV5RAAk52

“It was thoughtless of him.” Dad said. He stroked his neck. I could see the angry red marks of the Inspector’s fingers. Why? Why was he letting it go? Why didn’t he want the Inspector punished?1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwYf4Ypd2u
Uncle Sunder, on the other hand, was not at all surprised by Dad’s decision.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA32neWWf8q

“If you say so.” He nodded curtly and said.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z7xwkCZR1

The voice, calm and cool, spoke in my head. “Poor Ram…”1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD05SFaRoP

Uncle Sunder left soon after. The spectators left too as the show was over. As Dad lead me to my class, deaf to the million questions that I threw at him, the rational part of my brain rushed to an unpleasant conclusion.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciksdpnVxF

Everything that the Inspector said was true. If it was so…Could I blame him for attacking Dad? I felt numb, helpless…Unable to even think about the things I heard.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHFGYkkaQP

“They’re all true, aren’t they? The things that the Inspector said…” I asked him, as we reached the class. “Is that why you are not answering my questions?”1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqiiIRky6K
1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF0IsldsCC
I hoped…I desperately hoped he would shout at me…say that not a word of those dreadful accusations was true. But…He…He just went away. Without a word…Without a single word.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qsAvXEnki
I walked mechanically into the classroom. By the time I sat down on my bench, I was sobbing uncontrollably.1059Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbiC47Hox5
